[Vision2020] Ferguson second grade protesters 'get it'

[Tom Hansen]

Mr. Dredge -

Another question that NEEDS an answer:  Why did Brown's body lay dead on the ground . . . untouched . . for four hours . . . after the police officer shot and killed,him?

But first you must learn how to smile as you kill,
If you want to be like the folks on the hill."

It started with the death of Brown, with scant information, at which time it was believable that he might have been raising his hands asking the cop not to shoot him.  I can see people jumping on that bandwagon.  Later, it came to light that he had assaulted the cop in his car, which totally changes the story.  It's still unfortunate, but it's miles away from saying "please don't shoot me" and raising your hands.  The cops-use-black-people-as-target-practice meme is a powerful one, though, and that's what gets said during the protests.  Damn the facts, anyway, I guess.

If the people protesting don't give a damn about what actually happened, then why should I take anything they say, whether they are 7 years old or 70, at face value?  My basic assumption right now for these protests is that they are making shit up and only if I see evidence otherwise will I begin to believe them.  It's sad, really.
